Indian scammers.  Best to just ignore/block the number and not call them back.  They can become very vulgar if they are challenged or called out, so unless you want to be cussed out by a putz in a boiler room halfway across the globe....

The IRS will NEVER call you or e-mail you.  They will ONLY contact via U.S. Mail if there's an issue.  The foreign accent is a dead giveaway!  The Treasury Department is well aware of these scams and is constantly issuing fraud alerts to warn consumers.

Like the above people, an Indian or Pakistani accent calling to tell me he was an IRS officer (never gave a badge number, which they always do) and threatened grim things unless I called him back at the above number.  All such real correspondence with the IRS will be through certified mail, not phone calls

Got the same call. Called back to see what it was about - the phone number has been disconnected. I know Congress has cut the IRS $ back but I don't think their phone would be disconnected. LOL

Got the same call and they left a message.
I went on the IRS website to report it but decided THEY wanted too much info as well.
It dawned on me I don't trust my own government any more than I do the scammers.

You can trust this:

Total scam.  Originates in either India or Pakistan.  Ignore and block the calls.

I’m an Enrolled Agent with the IRS (Inactive). IRS does not initiate contacts by phone.  US mail only.   IRS does not file lawsuits.   Court action, if any is handled by the DOJ and all parties are entitled to legal assistance if it is a criminal matter.  But--tax disputes are for the most part civil matters.  90% of all IRS tax disputes are settled administratively.  IRS has absolutely no authority to call on local law enforcement for anything. Local law is never involved in IRS tax disputes. IRS does not threaten to involve local law enforcement or to arrest you for nonpayment of federal taxes.  IRS has no powers of arrest.    If LE is necessary, US Marshals do the job.  IRS does not cold call anyone and demand immediate payment of  money.  IRS does not ask for financial information over the phone.   IRS does not accept Green card money paks for payment in any case.  No one is prosecuted for ordinary tax disputes. IRS has absolutely no authority over anyone's professional license. Professional licensing is handled by state governments.  Yes, levies on property to satisfy an existing tax obligation do occur, but only after a very long period of negotiation. And yes, liens are placed on individuals but  usually after a lot of negotiation and a failure to reach a settlement.    All determinations of tax liability are subject to appeals.  All  contacts by the IRS are initiated by US mail.
